Neither Hale nor the Diocese would comment about the outcome of that meeting.

Hale and her attorney say they will discuss what happened, and what's next, at a Wednesday morning press conference.

Hale, a lesbian, told 10tv last week that her sexuality has never been brought into the classroom, and in her 19 years of employment at the school, was never an issue.

It was her mother's obituary that prompted an anonymous letter to her superiors.

"It was a parent who was appalled that in my mom's obituary, beside my name, I had a female in parentheses," says Hale. "Female partner."

Two weeks after her mother's death, Hale says she was called into a meeting with her principal.

"They wanted an explanation. A response," she says. "I just looked at them and said, 'I don't really have a response. That's my mom's obituary."

Two weeks later, she was fired, her termination letter stating her relationship "violates the moral laws" of the Catholic Church.

"You know, this is a tragedy from her perspective," says Tom Tootle, Hale's attorney. "She's not only lost her mother, she's lost her 19 year career. But thank goodness for the goodwill of people just stepping up to support her."

And while she draws strength from the support of so many, there's just one thing she wants. "Her job," says Tootle. "That's really it in a nutshell. She wants her job back. She doesn't want money. She doesn't want public notoriety. She wants her job back."

Though Hale's attorney isn't saying what happened Tuesday night, he says there are two other routes that could be pursued on her behalf.

The City of Columbus has an ordinance outlawing termination based on sexual orientation.

Anyone found guilty of violating the ordinance could face a fine and possible jail time.

Tootle says there's also the possibility of a lawsuit against the Diocese.

Police in suburban Cleveland say they're pursuing charges against five customers of a Chuck E. Cheese's after employees were attacked when a manager didn't respond quickly enough to a complaint about a malfunctioning photo booth.

A video allegedly found at the crash site of Germanwings Flight 9525 captures the terrifying moments inside the passenger jet before it slammed into a mountain in the French Alps, two media outlets reported Tuesday.
